After listening to Rump last night, husband said he doesn't even feel like this is America anymore.

As usual, I couldn't listen to the raving madman, but my husband has a higher tolerance for frothing at the mouth stupidity. The fact that this cretin has credibility among about a third of the population is simply nightmarish. He must be kept from the reins of U.S. power. GOTV!

Yes, it does feel like that. MoonRiver Sep 2016 #2

We are slowly becoming a society of walled in communities separated by race, religion, economic status just like much of the 'old world' is. Especially at the local level.

Instead of letting states (local counties) have their way with 'the people' and cleaning up the mess many years to late!

I wish the election was today, Clinton will win and then the republican tabloid reality show will finally go away.

We were never a melting pot of cultures, but more of a patchwork quilt. The internet hasn't helped either, as we cloister ourselves in the virtual world & seek like minded groups to 'hang out' with.

like twitter, works very well for a shallow person like trump. He's the king of 'smack-talk'.

Reminds me of some old school gaming guild leaders I have known Everyone wants to be in his guild for the loot rights.
